=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openstack-glance packages that fix two security issues and several

bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give

detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the

CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 for RHEL 7 - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

OpenStack Image Service (glance) provides discovery, registration, and

delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to

copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored

images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly

and more consistently than installing a server operating system and

individually configuring additional services.

 

Multiple flaws were found in the glance task API that could cause untracked

image data to be left in the back end. A malicious user could use these

flaws to deliberately accumulate untracked image data, and cause a denial

of service via resource exhaustion. (CVE-2014-9684, CVE-2015-1881)

 

The openstack-glance packages have been upgraded to upstream version

2014.2.3, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.

(BZ#1210457)

 

All openstack-glance users are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which correct these issues.
